Therein lies the irony of the Brezhnev legacy: all of the Soviet Union's gigantic military might has not proved sufficient to convince its leaders that they can depend on enjoying either domestic tranquillity or genuine security along the country's borders, even those it shares with Communist neighbors.

Whether he does so again could depend on Conservative Candidate Lucien DiFazio, 39, a Hartford lawyer who entered the race only nine weeks ago. Although DiFazio has no chance of winning, he has substantial financial backing from the New Right and might siphon off votes from Weicker. With Weicker leading Moffett by only...
